I think we all struggle with that to an extent...it's a defense mechanism, isn't it? We'd rather brace for the worst than expect the best. The blow isn't so hard that way, and the victories feel sweeter somehow. But then, I think when we make up our minds to do something, and take the "when, not if" attitude you just described, the results are far better, and sweet in their own way. It's just a risk. Then again, anything worth doing is risky. I love this, and you are so right. I think we all struggle with that to an extent…it’s a defense mechanism, isn’t it?
